Cold Hitch

"Hey! Could you hold the door!?" someone calls out. Startled by the sudden voice, Augustine presses the door open button.

He doesn't look over as his classmate enters, staring at the buttons on the elevator wall. It isn't like it would matter for much longer anyways. In a few hours the graduation ceremony would be over, and then he'd never see this guy again.

"Thanks, you wouldn't believe the-" the voice trails off. "Auggie?"

Augustine feels his blood turn to ice. He turns his head slowly and finds wide blue eyes staring back at him.

"...Winnie."

~~

Augustine and Winnie have always been together their whole childhood. Ever since they were six years old, they've stayed side by side, inseparable from each other.

Now, they're on the way to their high school graduation ceremony, when they find themselves stuck in the elevator.

A reimagining of Elevator Hitch, Augustine and Winnie will have to figure out more than just how to get to their ceremony-they'll have to figure out their feelings, too.
